Leap from college coach to NFL rarely worth trip
By JIM LITKE
AP Sports Writer
Everyone has to start
somewhere.
But if the end game is to
win a Super Bowl, candi-
dates applying for NFL
head-coaching
vacancies
may want to downplay
their college resumes. As
3hiladelphia¶s ¿ring of &hip
Kelly reminded us again,
past successes are no guar-
antee of future prosperity
— at least in the pros.
&oaches with designs of
stepping up have their patron
saints, to be sure. Four have
won championships at both
levels 3ete &arroll Seattle
Seahawks and Southern
&alifornia Barry Swit]er
Dallas
&owboys
and
Oklahoma -immy -ohnson
Dallas
&owboys
and
0iami and 3aul Brown
&leveland Browns and
Ohio State. Several more,
most notably Bill Walsh and
7om &oughlin, were very
good in college but even
better in the pros.
But much longer is the
list of those who clobbered
the competition in college
but left the NFL with tails
tucked between their legs.
7here¶s three-time in
a -year span national
championship winner Nick
Saban, who was 15-17
in the NFL and desperate
enough to depart the Miami
Dolphins that he lied several
times about chasing the
Alabama job he eventually
latched onto. Then there’s
Steve Spurrier, Dennis
Erickson, Lou +olt], Butch
Davis, Bobby Petrino, Rich
Brooks, Frank Kush and
even Oklahoma Sooner
legend Bud Wilkinson,
whose Àirtation with the
NFL was fairly typical.
After amassing three
national championships and
a 47-game winning streak
a record that still stands,
Wilkinson came out of
retirement for the St. Louis
&ardinals job, went -20
over parts of two seasons
and quit with three games
remaining in his third.
The reasons for the
failures are varied. Most
college coaches hired by the
NFL begin with bad teams
and impatient owners. Some
never adjust to the different
schemes, much-faster pace
of play, or the differences
required to motivate high-
ly-paid pros instead of kids
dependent on scholarships.
Here’s a quick look at
some of the memorable
successes and failures:
———
THE
A&&,DENTAL
&OA&H
After an acrimonious
split with -immy -ohnson,
who won two Super Bowls
in Dallas, owner -erry -ones
essentially introduced Barry
Swit]er as one of ³500
coaches who could have
won the Super Bowl with
our team.” He was right,
since Swit]er did just that
with the 15 &owboys,
though it was still -ohnson’s
team through and through.
Swit]er dominated the
college game, but was so
overmatched in the NFL
that some &owboys players
referred to him as ³Bo]o
the &oach.” Swit]er went
10-6 after his champion-
ship season and then 6-10,
leaving -ones to search for
the 4 other coaches he
passed over the last time.
DON’T
LET
THE
DOOR H,T <O8 ON THE
WA< O8T
Bobby Petrino tends
to leave a mess wherever
he lands. After success at
lowly Louisville and later
Arkansas and Western
Kentucky, he couldn’t
even last a season with
the Atlanta Falcons. After
a 3-10 start there, and a
locker-room mutiny gaining
steam, Petrino bailed on the
NFL and let his team in on
the news by posting a note
in the locker room.
³That’s not how a man
acts,” -oey Harrington, the
quarterback whom Petrino
benched, said at the time of
his departure. ³That’s how a
coward acts.”
Or maybe just somebody
who’s in a hurry to get out
of town.
,F AT F,RST <O8
DON’T S8&&EED ...
Anyone who watched
Dennis Erickson coach
‘em up in college could be
forgiven for thinking his
40-56 pro record was a typo.
He turned around programs
at ,daho and Oregon State
and won two national titles
at Miami. That may explain
why two NFL owners gave
him jobs Seattle from
15- and San Francisco,
2003-04. The good news is
that Erickson ¿nally recog-
ni]ed his ceiling, returning
to the college ranks both
times and a third time after
a brief retirement.
